13.6 IPMI Over LAN (IOL)
IPMI over LAN is used to allow the IPMI controller to communicate with the IPMI controller via
LAN using the RMCP or the RMCP+ protocol. The data transferred are IPMI commands and
the responses to them.
To enable LAN support after parameter setup the following command must be issued:
Please note that the following commands must use the IP address which belongs to the en-
abled channel.
The open tool “ipmitool” can serve as a control program and user interface for this. “ipmitool”
allows the issuing of generic IPMI commands such as:
or to call complex functions like “mc.info”:
This uses many generic IPMI commands to get the information needed.
13.7 Serial Over LAN (SOL)
Serial over LAN connects the COM1 or /dev/ttyS0 respectively of the CP6003-SA/RA/RC's
payload side to an Ethernet channel. The IPMI controller resides between this serial interface
and one of the Ethernet channels. It serves as an encoder and a decoder for the used RMCP+
protocol and controls the data stream. Outside the CP6003-SA/RA/RC, for example, the open
tool “ipmitool” can be used to drive the SOL session, i.e. it offers a console function to commu-
nicate via Ethernet with the CP6003-SA/RA/RC's serial interface.
The IPMI firmware supports only “straight password authentication” SOL sessions with default
privilege level USER.
Opening an SOL session requires special parameters as shown below:
The serial interface can be used as a connection, for example:
• To a user program on the CP6003-SA/RA/RC payload
• To the uEFI BIOS. Refer to the Main Setup menu, Serial Port Console Redirection
function in the CP6003-SA/RA/RC uEFI BIOS User Guide. The serial parameters can be
set via this function.
• To a Linux login console. This can be activated after payload start, for example, by the
command:
SOL supports and requires serial hardware handshake. This should be activated for the serial
port. Otherwise transmitted data might get lost. In any case the same serial parameters for the
payload side serial interface and the IPMI controller's serial interface must be used.
